Biosynthesis of dihydroxanthommatin: In vitro enzymatic reduction of xanthommatin

A new enzyme was partially purified from Drosophila melanogaster. It has a molecular weight of about 55,000 and catalyzes the reduction of xanthommatin to dihydroxanthommatin in the presence of NADH/H + as cofactor. FAD, FMN, p- chloromercuribenzoate , 2-amino-4-hydroxypteridine and biopterin inhibi...
